But have they considered the fact that Russia bad and history began the instant Putler invaded Ukraine and that I am extremely intelligent because I trust corporate news sources which lied about Iraq’s WMDs without any consequences?

Lied about Iraqi WMDs, lied about Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ, lied about every fucking conflict we've been in since WWII ended...
